US Patent:

6406420, Jun 18, 2002

Filed:

Oct 21, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/422328

Inventors:

Patrick M. McCarthy - Hunting Valley OH
Todd J. Mortier - Minneapolis MN
Peter T. Keith - St. Paul MN
Michael J. Kallok - New Brighton MN

Assignee:

Myocor, Inc. - Plymouth MN

International Classification:

A61F 100

US Classification:

600 16, 600 37

Abstract:

Various methods and devices are disclosed for improving cardiac function in hearts having zones of infarcted (akinetic) and aneurysmal (dyskinetic) tissue regions. The methods and devices reduce the radius of curvature in walls of the heart proximal infarcted and aneurysmal regions to reduce wall stress and improve pumping efficiency. The inventive methods and related devices include splinting of the chamber wall proximal the infarcted region and various other devices and methods including suture and patch techniques.

Appl. No.:

09/941406

Inventors:

Patrick M. McCarthy - Hunting Valley OH
Richard S. Rhee - Diamond Bar CA
Stefan G. Schreck - Vista CA

Assignee:

Edwards Lifesciences Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

A61F 206

US Classification:

623 236, 623 237

Abstract:

An annuloplasty ring having a three-dimensional discontinuous form generally arranged about an axis with two free ends that are axially offset. The ring is particularly suited for repair of the tricuspid valve, and more closely conforms to the annulus shape. The ring is more flexible in bending about radially extending axes than about the central axis. A deliver template having a mounting ring with about the same shape as the ring facilitates implant, and may be releasably attached to a delivery handle. The deliver template may include a plurality of cutting guides for releasably attaching the annuloplasty ring thereto while presenting maximum outer surface area of the ring. The template may have an outwardly-facing groove to receive and retain the ring.

Appl. No.:

10/252454

Inventors:

Patrick M. McCarthy - Hunting Valley OH

Assignee:

Cleveland Clinic Foundation - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

A61M 110

US Classification:

600 16

Abstract:

An apparatus ( ) for use with an inflow cannula ( ) of a ventricular assist device (VAD) ( ). The cannula ( ) has a first part ( ) for connecting with a ventricle ( ) of a heart ( ) and a second part ( ) for connecting with the VAD ( ). The apparatus ( ) comprises a flexible conduit ( ) having oppositely disposed first and second ends ( and ) and a main body portion ( ) intermediate the ends. The main body portion ( ) is movable between a radially collapsed closed condition in which blood flow through the conduit ( ) is blocked and a radially expanded open condition in which blood flow through the conduit is unrestricted. A first connector ( ) connects the first end ( ) of the conduit ( ) to the first part ( ) of the inflow cannula ( ). A second connector ( and ) connects the second end ( ) of the conduit ( ) to the second part ( ) of the inflow cannula ( ). Several designs are disclosed for securing the connectors ( , and ) together to prevent relative movement of the ends ( ) away from each other.

Appl. No.:

10/192516

Inventors:

Patrick McCarthy - Cleveland OH, US

Assignee:

Edwards Lifesciences Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

A61F002/06

US Classification:

623 236, 623 237

Abstract:

A mitral heart valve annuloplasty ring having a posterior bow that conforms to an abnormal posterior aspect of the mitral annulus. The ring may be generally oval having a major axis and a minor axis, wherein the posterior bow may be centered along the minor axis or offset in a posterior section. The ring may be substantially planar, or may include upward bows on either side of the posterior bow. The ring may include a ring body surrounded by a suture-permeable fabric sheath, and the ring body may be formed of a plurality of concentric ring elements. The ring is semi-rigid and the posterior bow is stiff enough to withstand deformation once implanted and subjected to normal physiologic stresses. The ring elements may be bands of semi-rigid material. A method of repairing an abnormal mitral heart valve annulus having a depressed posterior aspect includes providing a ring with a posterior bow and implanting the ring to support the annulus without unduly stressing the attachment sutures.

Edwards Lifesciences Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

A61F002/24

US Classification:

623 236, 623 241, 623900

Abstract:

An annuloplasty ring having a three-dimensional discontinuous form generally arranged about an axis with two free ends that are axially offset. The ring is particularly suited for repair of the tricuspid valve, and more closely conforms to the annulus shape. The ring is more flexible in bending about radially extending axes than about the central axis. The ring may have an inner structural support covered by a pliable sleeve and/or a fabric tube. The structural support may have a varying cross-section, such as a C-shaped cross-section in a mid-section between two free ends and a rectangular cross-section at the free ends. A deliver template having a mounting ring with about the same shape as the ring facilitates implant, and may be releasably attached to a delivery handle. The deliver template may include a plurality of cutting guides for releasably attaching the annuloplasty ring thereto while presenting maximum outer surface area of the ring. The template may have an outwardly-facing groove to receive and retain the ring.

US Classification:

128898, 623 124

Abstract:

A method of protecting an upper body and a lower body of a patient from high venous pressures comprising implanting a first stented valve at the superior vena cava and a second stented valve at the inferior vena cava, wherein the first and second valves are configured to permit blood flow towards a right atrium of the patient and prevent blood flow in an opposite direction.
